Evaluación del desempeño docente, perspectiva de los estudiantes en la facultad de Filosofía de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

This research was quantitative, with descriptive and transversal scope. The objective was to describe the evaluation of the teaching performance according to the opinion of the students. The participants were 156 students. For the data collection we used a sociodemographic record and the Student Opinion questionnaire about Teaching. Data processing was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciencies (SPSS), the information was analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and tables were used to present the results. The results presented a positive evaluation of the students towards their teachers. The total mean of all dimensions (mean 4.35) was higher than the average of the scale, the Attitude towards students dimension was the highest (mean 4.67) and the Support Materials dimension the lowest (mean 4.06). Both women and men evaluated with high scores. However, the total score of the women (average 4.38) was higher than that of the men (mean 4.24). The students who indicated that they had no learning problems, assessed with a higher total score (mean 4.37) while the students who reported presenting learning problems assessed with a lower total score (mean 4.18).
